Ableton Forum

hey guys
here's the situation

ever since I started working with UADx plugins my projects has a REALLY bad issue
after a while - Ableton just stops responding to my keyboard and mouse clicks

its important to note that Ableton is not stuck at all. the meters are playing as usual, sound is coming out perfectly with 0 glitches or cracks or pops. plus, midi works fine. my midi keyboard is sending information and Ableton plays it. plus, push2 works fine including the play and stop buttons. the only thing that gets affected by the situation is the keyboard and mouse.
sometimes, after 20-30 seconds ableton will "Unfreeze" and all the mouse and keyboard clicks i made when it was "stuck" gets executed one after the other. other times it just stays "frozen" until i force quit it.

also the CPU is on 20-30% so thats not the issue and even changing the buffer size to 2048 does not solve the issue
also this is happening both on my studio PC and my home laptop.

i have no idea what to do anymore TBH i tried everything including uninstalling UAD & Ableton and reinstalling them. both are completely up to date.

if anyone ever encountered this issue and solved it i could really use some help here as im unable to work at the moment
thanks

If you know it's the UAD causing the issues it might be worth checking in with their support too, they might have seen this already and know the fix.

Yes absolutely, already did

it just got worse
i had to force quit Ableton again and the ALS file was literally deleted by Ableton

nah it's not UAD
nor is it Baby Audio, Korneff, Exite Audio, Kazrog, and a ton of other plugins that are using badly done UI rendering pipeline towards the gpu, bottlenecking the entire session.

It's actually Live! Live's rendering pipeline needs to be rewritten from the ground up as it is *the worst* of them all, completelly choking and nuking live sets past a certain load.

Trully entertaining watching 6-8 posts a week on different forums about these UI lag and freeze issues with 0 official aknowledgement from the company

Well .. I understand what youre saying.. but this really never happened. With MUCH MUCH bigger projects with way more processing.
It started when I started using UADx
If I take UADx out of my VST3 folder the issue is gone

That's why I think it's coming from UADx but I might be wrong
Sent a support request for both Ableton and UAD
